i was waiting in line for something last saturday and i was seated beside a couple while waiting for my turn. a few feet from us, a fortuner was displayed with the back turned to us. the wife got out of her seat and walked around the car. when she got back to her seat, she told her husband, "may diesel pala yung fortuner." to which the husband replied, "gas yan." the wife asked, "how did you know?" the husband answered, "ayan o, may g sa likod so gas yan."

what????

i tried my best not to laugh. it was really hard. i just bowed my head, smiled, took my ipod out, increased the volume to keep myself from laughing from the conversation that just happened.

i love the movie. i can’t stop saying i love the movie. i didn’t like christian bale that much in the first batman movie but after seeing this one, i love him already. he’s great. i just don’t understand why he had to change his voice when wearing the costume. was the mask not enough to hide his true identity? the glasses and the bangs worked for superman, the mask should do more than it’s purpose for batman. anyway, i just don’t remember the other batmans changing their voice when wearing the costume.

back to the movie, i love it because it’s a serious movie. the serious but interesting type and not the serious but boring one. i love the description for batman as incorruptible. with the money and "power" he has, it’s hard to be incorruptible. actually, i think he became a bit corrupt when he had that device using sonar invented, even if he had it destroyed immediately after using it. the end doesn’t justify the means right?

i also loved how the filmmakers portrayed children as innocent. by the end of the movie when batman was escaping the authorities, gordon’s son asked why they were chasing him when he didn’t do anything in return. i hate how once we became adults, we suddenly make simple things complicated. unlike with a child, everything’s just black and white, and life was just easy.

i love action movies but this one is brutal. i also found myself covering my eyes during some parts of the movie. haha, i know. it’s so childish. i think i’m not really a good person to see a movie with because i become animated while watching. i remember shouting in surprise when the lamborghini was hit. it was such a nice car. i’m not really into sports cars but seeing christian bale drive that car was really cool, so i like sports cars now because of him. haha.

i can’t accept that this is heath ledger’s last movie. when news about his death came out, i was devastated. i found it hard to accept. he had such a bright future in the industry. i refuse to remember him as joker. i want to remember him as the sweet guy with the marching band in 10 things about you or the knight who wanted to change his stars in a knight’s tale.
